Full statement.
Recognition of the scale of issues - no acknowledgement that they have been exacerbated by the Conservatives but hey ho.
Integrity, professionalism and accountability - good dig at Johnson's government.

He's called Johnson's bluff - the later he announces he's standing the more obvious it will be that he doesn't have solid support.

It's like a bloody circus.

Integrity says the man who was also fined for breaking lockdown laws

New thread needed soon, any suggestions for title?

How about "the one where Big Log is finally flushed"

I'm keeping quiet.

Big Dog sent to the kennel?

Will big dog return to his pack?!

I'm crap at the titles!

Guido Fawkes' latest standings:

Sunak 139
Johnson 75
Mordaunt 27

Unknown 116.

I think Sunak is demonstrating real political acumen here. He appears to be one of the few Conservatives capable of learning and developing. Most of the others seem stuck in a quagmire of undesirable personality traits and fixed ideology, as well as an inability to think things through.

Former Bank of England Governor Lord Mervyn King asked how the markets will respond to this leadership contest, replies that "Frankly they'll be looking just as much, if not more so, at what the Labour Party is saying, rather than the Conservative candidates."

No suggestion for title. Too many Anglo Saxon words spring to mind!

Decided to play it safe 🎃

How about 'the Big Dog's dinner'
Or let sleeping dogs lie?

I am hoping it isn't 'the Big Dog's return'

"I'm keeping quiet."

Lol! @Fladdermus !!

He’s pulled out of the race!

The big dog is no more.

Brilliant!

Such a shame. I think he would have completely destroyed the Conservatives. Looks like some grown ups have appeared.

Surely Boris will sit on the Cabinet?

You are joking? He won’t be allowed anywhere near the Cabinet.

Considering he had a 3 hour meeting with Sunak and was rumoured to be close to 100 votes clearly something has been agreed.

The Big Log has finally flushed! Hopefully the privileges committee will clear the skids too.

I keep playing this video and having a little laugh. Uploaded less than 2 hours before he stood down...

Hope we’ve seen the back of odious snake Rees-Mogg
